Jasmin Smajic, PhD

Bio

I am a researcher, engineer and writer on a mission to make energy available for all by pushing the boundaries of materials science. Through my work, I aim to further the frontiers of materials innovation and enable the next generation of energy technologies.

I’ve worked on a range of challenges in materials science and engineering. I’ve contributed to post-lithium batteries, next-gen anodes in lithium-ion batteries, carbon science and superconductivity.

If you share my passion for materials science and the energy challenges of our time, I would love to connect.
